Lt. Dennis Ivey with the York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office said early Thursday that a suspect — later identified as Rhoades — was barricaded in a townhouse on Wethersfield Park, in the York Crossing subdivision.

Ivey tells WAVY.com notice of an incident was sent out Thursday morning because they wanted people to avoid the area.

Residents who live east of Constitution Drive were being advised to stay in their homes, while some homes within the subdivision were evacuated. They have since been allowed back to the neighborhood.

Police say the neighborhood is safe. They have let all residents back into their homes following barricade incident on Wethersfield Park
